Patrick Reed, emulating Woods’ Sunday final-round wardrobe by wearing a red shirt and black slacks for the most important occasion of his skyrocketing career, channeled his inner Tiger in Sunday’s WGC-Cadillac Championship final round at Trump National Doral, capturing his third win since August.

Reed is the new normal in the world of golf, where fresh-faced, young, talented and — most importantly — fearless players are appearing at tournaments worldwide and winning.

Golf always has been and always will be driven by its star power. It has been that way since before Ben Hogan and has been accentuated by the Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus days and, most recently, by the careers of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy.

But there seem to be more and more days like Sunday at Doral, with the stars unable keep up with the lesser-knowns such as Reed who also possess incredible talent and have no fear implementing it, turning that talent into victories.

The 23-year-old Reed, a two-time NCAA champion while playing at Augusta State, is now 3-0 on the PGA Tour, converting a 54-hole lead into victory, finishing 4-under, one shot ahead of Bubba Watson and Jamie Donaldson.

The way he handled himself Sunday on the newly redesigned Blue Monster, which proved itself anything but a pushover (only three players finished under par), Reed had the look of a guy who has been there and done that. He never flinched, never opened the door for any of his closest challengers.

“I believe in myself — especially with how hard I’ve worked — that I’m one of the top five players in the world,’’ a euphoric Reed said following the win. “To come out on top in a field like this and hold on wire-to-wire like this I feel like I’ve proven myself.’’

Moments like Sunday, with a big tournament on the line, used to be all about Woods, who is the greatest closer the game has ever known. Now, it seems as if he cannot get out of his own way on Sundays.

Woods, who was ranked 95th on the PGA Tour in 2013 in average final-round scoring at 71.1, has broken par just twice in his last 19 final rounds. Eye-opening, to say the least.

So, too, is the influx of new talent — players who are completely unafraid while in the presence of Woods, Mickelson and McIlroy.

“Look at Russell Henley; he’s won twice. Harris English has won twice, Jordan Spieth won once. Myself, I’ve won three times now,’’ Reed said. “It’s just one of those things that we’ve worked very hard, all of us, to get where we are, and it’s definitely shown. To see the young guys coming out and playing and putting it to the veterans is always nice.’’

Last week at the Honda Classic, when Woods withdrew during his final round with lower back spasms, he left playing partner Luke Guthrie to play the last five holes by himself. After the round, a reporter asked Guthrie, who was wearing a red shirt, if the wardrobe choice was intentional because of his pairing with Woods.

Guthrie was almost apologetic, explaining it happened to be the last clean shirt he had for the week.

On Sunday at Trump National Doral, Patrick Reed had no apologies. None, of course, was necessary.

“Well, the best player ever to live when I was growing up wore black pants and a red shirt,’’ Reed said. “I always thought it would be cool to wear black and red come down Sunday. I did it when I was in juniors, I did it in amateur golf and it’s worked. Obviously there’s something behind it.’’
